[edit] Khalil al-Duleimi

Article is obscenely short with no real content.

Update: User:Scimitar has expanded the article and it's no longer a substub. Votes may not be based on the article's current content. - Mgm|^(talk) 17:48, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, Saddam Hussein's lawyers are notable. Kappa 07:44, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete almost a speedy candidate with its lack of content. Notability not established. JamesBurns 08:08, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• While I don't have anything against an article on this guy - being Saddam's lawyer is notable - this should be deleted as a substub unless it's expanded before VFD ends. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:06, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep the rewrite. No longer a substub. - Mgm|^(talk) 17:48, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
• Verify and expand, or delete. Depending on when and how the trial proceeds, this person is likely to become widely notable, and to become considered more significant than Johnny Cochrane. This hasn't happened yet and might not; Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and Wikinews is down the hall to the left. Barno 14:06, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I've started expanding, and I'll see what else I can dig up. It should be noted that al-Duleimi is only one of 22 lawyers representing Saddam, but he is the only one who attended Saddam's interrogation, and Al-Jazeera incorrectly reported him as Saddam's "lead lawyer". He is also the only one based in Iraq. --Scimitar 14:36, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep based on new expansions. --Briangotts 16:07, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. The Saddam trial will be a notable case. Capitalistroadster 17:43, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. While we may not be a crystal ball, the trial is notable. Unless he turns out to be a brother of the secretary of the dog in a picture with Saddam outside the courthouse, its a safe bet that we'll have more to add shortly. .:.Jareth.:. ^babelfish 19:07, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
